Would it be okay to wear my school uniform to a McDonalds job interview?

I have an interview for McDonalds straight after school on Friday and i probably wont have any time to change.. should it be ok?

And if anyone can give me some tips, that would be muchly appreciated.

Btw, i'm 15, if that helps.

Thanks.Would it be okay to wear my school uniform to a McDonalds job interview?
Bring a pair of black slacks and a button down shirt to school and change in the bathroom before the interview. You want to show that you will always show up on time and ready to work. If you get the job you wll have to change before arriving at work so start now. There are a lot of people much older than you out of work and seeking these jobs now so if you really need the job its time to put your best foot forward, Remember these things. Be on time and early if possible. Give a firm hand shake. Make eye contact. Breathe and don't forget to smile. Seek in every aspect of the process to be positive and you will be fine.
NO, don't wear your school uniform. It shows your loyalties lie with school rather than your job.

When you go to interviews, always dress 1-up from what you would wear to work. McD's may just have pants and shirts, but even then they're dress pants and polos (around here anyways) so they're a bit nicer... Try wearing Black dress pants and a cute sweater or button down shirt and dress shoes. You don't have to wear full business clothes, but dress pants, not jeans, no t-shirt.. something a little classier.

Make sure you know how to talk yourself up. Tell them about a time you took control of a situation, that one always won it for me (think it out before hand). Tell them about a time you resolved an argument. Make sure you have good weaknesses and strengths thought out... Good weaknesses are things that can also be seen as strengths, like being too friendly that you are ALWAYS trying to make people happy and can't just let it go if a little mistake is made (always trying to fix your problems), or you pay too much attention to details so you sometimes take a little longer to do things.



Good luck!

Every I've talked to that worked at McDs actually loved it because it's fairly laid back and your working with people you most likely go to school with... It's just the deep fryers everyone hates :P

I loved working fast food because such a variety of people worked there.i was never popular, but popular people would work there as well and you'd get acquainted with them by being teamed up on Drive thru or something with them...

It's better to wear more professional clothes for an interview. The uniform might make the employer think of you as a kid who is not ready for a job. If the uniform is all you have, then try to go with dark pants at least. If you have a jacket you could wear with it, then bring that too.
They know it's straight after school and you are 15. In my opinion it is fine, you will only be swapping one uniform for another! If you get there early and you are concerned, change in the toilets there.Would it be okay to wear my school uniform to a McDonalds job interview?
Well here in SG its not ok to wear school uniform.. i would say no. Casual clothes is better, smart %26amp; have good impression of yourself. Just bring along a casual shirt to change with.
Good Luck with your interview



I wound't recommend wearing your school uniform. Dress clothes, no jeans... no t-shirts...
